We were talking about this-- and doing it too,  in the 1970s...action needed, not just words...

William McDonough illustrates a model for the sustainable building of 
the future in Fortune Magazine.

"The building of the future will not just sit on a lot. It will be 
productive. From solar panels that produce power to tree-filled 
terraces that recycle water, the building will work, quite literally, 
from the inside out. How distant is this prospect? Hard to say. All 
the technologies mentioned are "state of the shelf": That is, they 
already exist, although not all are economically practical. But 
architecture and design are crafts for the long term. This tower 
shows the way urban centers can get closer to nature - and in the 
process keep neighborhoods and cities vibrant and healthy."
